The BTS leader extended his run to 39 games thanks to a 1-for-2 day from Vladimir Guerrero, tying him for the longest streak posted by a fan this season. Last year, 14 participants reached the 40-game plateau, with the winner topping out at 49 in a row.

The second-place fan extended his own lengthy streak to 35 games with a 1-for-5 day from Ian Kinsler, while the 30-game club got a new member thanks to a two-hit performance from Lance Berkman.

There was one notable fall from the top ranks as Jeff Landgraf, Monday’s fan of the day, saw his 32-game streak come to an end.

I bet all of the people in top 25 are wondering that right now. They all thought Spooky93 was elimineated and probably breathed sigh of relief.

What I want to know is whether he was allowed to make the selection after 6:55PM. Even one second after the cut off is unfair to other contestants. If he was allowed to do so, for what reason. I remember oone of the leaders rly i the season was eliminated because he didn’t make the pick for the day.

I am sure JERRYMOHR who had the highest streak of 39 up to yesterday is wondering the same. He could have walked away with consolation prize if nobody passed him.

I think MLB.com needs to make a public announcement has to what exactly happened. Things like can easily get the class action lawyers salivating.

The Angels game started at 7:pm eastern time.Guerrero got a base hit in the top of the first inning.To pick the hitter who gets a hit that early is very lucky.? He picked the same hitter the day before, but not today.

I wish I were eligible to win this thing because I definitely would get 57 straight. Is someone going to win the million from us this summer? It looks like our leaders are pushing 40 now, we’re past the Benito Santiago/Luis Castillo range and starting to get up to Molly numbers. It would happen by the All-Star Game. It is so easy to play this game it’s ridiculous.

If you work for MLB.com, you should look into this. Spooky93 did NOT pick anyone by the cut off time at 6:55PM last night. Magically, he has somehow picked V. Guerrero and survived another day when I checked the standings this morning. How is this possible?

And if SPOOKy93 found a way to enter the selection after the cut off time and the games have started already, that is CHEATING. And isn’t it convenient that V. Guerrero got the hit right with 10 minutes of 6:55PM.

Where can I report this to? I already wrote to bts@mlb.com but got no reply back.

Thanks for pointing that out. I think why why that happened. These guys are cheating. Those hitter they initially chose did not get hits right away. So they CHANGED to the ones they did. CHEATERS!!

(p.perlman) Derek Jeter did not get the hit until 7th inning. Luckily James Loney did during the second inning. The Dodgers game did not start until 10PM.

(bfitzg01) Polanco did not get his first hit until 6th inning. Luckily Manny Ramirez did on his first at bat.

Hanley Ramirez did get a in the first inning so change to Figgins who did not get his hit until 4th inning does not make sense. Was there a delay in the Florida game?

This is just like last year with CNN Million Dollar stock challenge. All of the top finishers cheated because they found a loophole in a system that allowed them to change their picks. It had something to do with leaving your browser open and something.

I’m not quite ready to believe it’s malicious yet, though I do think MLB needs to investigate for a possible bug.

I think the key will be to keep an eye on these players and some screenshots, if necessary.

And at least for p.perlman, we’ll know more tomorrow – he/she picked Matt Holliday (at least when I opened the standings earlier tonight), so if he/she somehow has something different, then I think there could be reason to suspect cheating.

There was a minor page caching issue on Tuesday night that caused some display issues. Spooky93 picked Vlad Guerrero at 9:09 AM on Tuesday, 10 hours before the deadline. The Standings page on Tuesday night was showing all user’s picks as of 4 AM Tuesday morning, which is why it appeared that no pick had been made.

The display issue was fixed around 9:45 PM and all proper picks displayed then, at which point the correct pick of Vlad Guerrero appeared. Hope that helps clear up any confusion.
